Last night during our monthly board meeting, we were excited to see Kim Eaton, from the West Central Indiana Foundation representing Attica Community Foundation. We were ecstatic to accept our awarded Legacy Grant to complete our Feasibility study and strategic plan.

We look forward to moving this process along. Please keep an eye out in the future for any opportunities through surveys and possibly town hall meetings. We will need to gather as much information as possible.

Thank you so much Attica Community Foundation and WCIF for showing us that you believe in us and our mission.
